When I go to China, I am going to take photos document the pollution levels there. I hear the air pollution there is terrible, and the rivers are so polluted... So I hear. The whole point of this little experiment is to compare the environment from the view of a common citizen. Anyway, I only have a few more chances to get out in the great outdoors here before I take off for 7 weeks.
There are many opinions on global warming. Some say it's a myth, others like Mr Gore, are steadfast that it is coming.
While Canada is a relatively new country, with a small population, I don't think we are as affected as some other regions by polluting. BUT, we are at a stage now where we are reaching that bridge. Irving Oil has now completed the largest Oil refinery in the country. Alberta's Oil Sands, oil deposits off BC, these are all resources that can drive the economy. Think about this. If North America was just discovered today, do you think other countries would not be killing each other to lay claim to our beautiful country? Canadians have done a good job to preserve the natural beauty of this country up until today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring.
I hope to bring back evidence of the environmental state of a couple regions of China. If I can come up with something interesting, it might be worth a look. I'm no Al Gore, but for the sake of clean air, I'm going to take notice, at least. The BC government says they are serious about the environment, so I think people need a warning about what could happen if the environmental situation gets out of control.
I know, I know, my blogs are usually full of comedic gems, so I'll leave you with this: flizzle-flazzle.
